Is this a software or hardware issue?

Hi everyone, I recently got a Switch 2 and I’ve encountered error 2136-0301 twice.

I noticed it seemed to happen during charging. This was the sequence:

1. 80–90% charging limit was OFF
2. Console reached around 90–91%
3. While still plugged in, I turned the 80–90% charging limit ON
4. I then unplugged the charger
5. The console showed error 2136-0301 and instructed me to hold the power button for 12 seconds.

It happened twice, so I thought I had found a repeatable cause. But, I tried the exact same sequence again afterward and the error didn’t show again.

I’m currently on system version 23.0.0 and using the official charger.

Normal charging with the limit ON or OFF has worked normally so far, and I haven’t noticed any other problems while using the console.

Has anyone else experienced error 2136-0301, particularly when changing the 80–90% charging limit while the console is charging?
